Taxus x media | Also known as: Common Yew, Intermediate Yew | Rating: votes| Print / Pdf
One of the most popular options when forming hedgerows, Taxus x media is a hybrid that brings together the best of Taxus baccata and Taxus cuspidate - otherwise known as the English Yew and Japanese Yew. Tough, durable and adaptable to most soil types, it is hard to go wrong with what has been conveniently dubbed the Anglojap Yew. With flat, dark green needles, this evergreen shrub makes light work of creating a hedgerow or screen, and can be trimmed into neat shapes. The female of the species produces small, crimson berries in autumn. At home in well-drained but moist and slightly alkaline soil, it prefers to stay out of the hot summer sun.
